Chapter 4_ Confronting his staff

Mavin's POV 

"Who was that lady?" I asked Sir Adam angrily. The last thing I remembered was that I sent him to get me a glass of water while I was busy going through my grandfather's will. My grandpa wanted me to marry, but I didn't want to.

I am the only child of my parents. Though my father didn't marry my mother, he went ahead and married another woman when I was only 6 years old. Then, my mother wasn't with us, and according to my grandfather, my mom was a stripper and club addict. The reason he sent her away was because he willed all his properties to me instead of my father and his wife. My grandpa had to raise me alone.

I dislike women, as I couldn't believe that my own mother was so filled with the lust and pleasure of this world that she would abandon me when I needed her the most. Now, I am 35 years old, and my grandpa wouldn't allow me to rest as he kept on reminding me that I needed to marry. 

"Mavin, you're getting older, and it's important that you settle down and find a suitable partner to bear your children." My grandfather would say: I am his favorite grandchild. Although my grandpa has other grandchildren from his two daughters, aside from my father, who is his only son, I also have a stepbrother from my stepmother. But Grandpa didn't care much about them and reminded me to marry by force, except he would give up his company now that he's alive.

I had gone through my grandfather's will, and he stated that if I don't marry before the year ends, We are on October 18, and I have just two months left before the year ends. I'm not afraid of my grandfather's will; I have my own company, but what I hadn't expected was for my Butler to drug me, and I know Adam wouldn't dare to do that to me. Except that my grandpa had ordered him to set me up.

My memory about the previous night was still fuzzy, and the pretty lady looked so cute. I didn't want to believe that I had slept with her. Immediately, Sir Adam arrived in my bedroom. I ordered him to wait for me in the sitting room as I was busy answering a phone call. I had a business meeting to catch up with at noon today. Despite it being Saturday, We missed our meeting last Friday evening, so I rescheduled it for Saturday to meet with some of my new partners.

I exited my bedroom and got into the sitting room to query Adam. "Can you start speaking? Tell me, who was that lady, and where did you bring her from?"

I was experiencing feelings of anger and hot flashes. I remember last night when I emerged from my bedroom to know who the people were discussing in my sitting room. The new young maids employed in my mansion didn't dare cross the limit so as to make noises in my presence. I was irritated with the fact that my grandpa had insisted I hire younger maids for him, aside from Angela. I mostly employed middle-aged women. But to my shock last night, when I emerged from the room, I saw a stunning white beauty in my sitting room.

I felt as hard as a rock; my member was throbbing hard just by seeing the lady standing there in her attractive red dress. To be honest, I haven't slept with a woman before. I'm a boss; I have a lot of admirers, but I haven't been intimate. I was mostly aloof at my office and had middle-aged women working for me as my staff in my company. So, most of them were married and didn't ogle at me.

I was shocked to see the pretty lady last night with big blue eyes, and I stupidly went to touch her arms to throw her out of my sitting room. Her scent of orange and lavender mixed up. I couldn't resist her, and I found myself drawn to her. What happened to me after that moment that I sniffed the pretty lady? I couldn't fully remember.

I glared at Adam as I heard him say, "I'm sorry, boss. "Your grandfather ordered me to do it."

"To do what? Can you come out clean? What did my grandpa, Charlie White, order you to do?" My anger was evident. Adam Howard was a 53-year-old man and had been with me for a long time. I couldn't believe that he would betray me to this extent.

"Grandpa Charlie ordered me to go to his hotel and get any pretty woman there for you," Adam explained. "Hmm," I said, turning silent.

"What's the lady's name? I cannot believe you would drug me to sleep with a woman, Adam. Why? You know, I don't like women. I don't need a woman in my life, and I can get a woman if I want to. If you repeat this mistake next time, I will terminate your contract here and have you arrested, too," I warned Sir Adam. He had been my Butler for years, since we were living in my grandfather's former house.

I owned this mansion, and I brought my grandfather to live with me as he's getting older. I didn't want to leave my grandfather all alone at his own residence. I know my grandfather is a cunning human, but I didn't expect him to plot to this extent and set me up.

Just then, we both heard a knock on my sitting room door, and my grandpa walked into the room. "Mavin, what's going on between you and Adam? I heard your voice, and who was that pretty lady I saw leaving the house this morning?"

I looked at my grandfather's face in silence, as he had a mischievous grin on his face. I am aware that he knew what he had planned for our butler. "Good morning, Grandpa; I don't know the lady you're talking about," I replied.

"Really, but the lady stated that she spent her night here with you. "Did you like her, Mavin?" 

"Grandpa!" I glared at my grandfather, and he smiled. "That's alright, Mavin. Be quick, as you will be accompanying me to the hospital today. I cannot go there alone with the guards. Okay?"

"Okay, Grandpa. I will be downstairs shortly," I replied, watching my grandfather grinned and finally exit my sitting room. My grandfather is an 85-year-old man. He is very active and moves around freely without a walking cane. I sighed and looked at Adam, who stood with his head bent low and offered me his apology. "Please provide the name of the young lady, and I trust that you have settled her debt this morning." I wouldn't want a lady to return here with the cops and accuse me of raping her. That's what I wouldn't tolerate, so you should fix the mess and silence her."

"Okay, boss," Adam replied, turning to exit my sitting room. I also retreated to my bedroom. I paused and asked Adam, "Wait. Didn't you pay the lady off? What's her name, and what does she do for a living?"

Sir Adam looked downward again. "I'm sorry, Boss. The lady left without collecting her payment, but she said her name is Thelma."

"Thelma, who?" I inquired, to which Sir Adam responded, "I am not sure. She didn't mention her last name to me because I told her we were not going to meet again. It is just a one-night stand between you both."

"Hmm....." I glared at Adam and silently went back into my bedroom, not wanting to think about the lady again. I grabbed my phone, called Adam, and gave him an order: "Find the lady again, and ensure that you pay her off." I don't want this mistake to repeat itself again. Is that understood?"

"Yes, boss," Adam replied, to which I immediately ended the phone call. I sighed and stared around my bedroom, and my eyes caught sight of the deep stain on my sheet. "What's that?" I approached the silk-white bedspread that I had used the previous night. I picked it up, and my anger boiled to discover that it was Thelma's first time. I cursed out and tossed the bedspread away to the floor. I grabbed my telephone and called the maid's line, "Hello, come into my bedroom right away and tidy it up."

I immediately ended the phone call with the maids, dropped the telephone, and then went into my bathroom to bathe. I was annoyed, but I had to prepare to escort my grandfather to the hospital for his weekly checkup.
